Tau Kappa Omega is the FIRST Asian-interest fraternity established in Oklahoma.
Since 2001, we have been promoting brotherhood among men of diverse ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds through philanthropy, scholarship, and leadership. Tau Kappa Omega emphasizes the learning and application of Eastern philosophies and their interrelation to the Western world.
As a special interest fraternity, Tau Kappa Omega is not only for Asian-Americans. It is an organization for anyone with an interest in the history, philosophy, and culture of Asia seeking to learn personal leadership skills and form lifelong relationships. The fraternity seeks to help individuals realize their potential as contributing members of society by first understanding themselves. As the first Asian-American fraternity in the state of Oklahoma, Tau Kappa Omega has united over ten generations of brothers to find their role in a growing community.
The core philosophy of our fraternity is based upon the ritualistic Japanese art of drumming known as Taiko. In essence, it is the harmony of many drums to make one powerful, fluid sound. Just as each drum in a Taiko performance has its role, each Brother is a drum with his own contribution. Through a foundation of nine elemental principles (Respect, Love, Honor, Perseverance, Charity, Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Harmony), each brother comes together to form one sound and one Brotherhood:
